Abstract

Distributed power resources (DPRs) offer a transformative opportunity to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and reliability of modern power infrastructures through their integration. This work presents a novel method based on a mix of renewable energy sources, energy storage technologies, and conventional generators for the optimization of DPR operations under dynamic market settings. Maximizing economic gains is the major objective while preserving system resilience and stability. To handle the complexity of DPR interactions, we offer a strong, hierarchical control architecture encompassing main, secondary, and tertiary levels. System performance is improved using advanced control strategies together with real-time market-responsive changes and predictive algorithms. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is validated through a detailed simulation of a small island grid using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), which demonstrates significant operational improvements. Results indicate cost reductions of approximately 54.7%, which were achieved by effectively prioritizing renewable sources and optimizing energy storage usage. This research contributes both theoretically and practically to accelerating the transition toward sustainable, resilient, and economically viable power systems.
